It is hard to spot disinformation because nobody taught us HOW.

Media literacy? Science literacy? Political literacy? We're failing at all of them.

And now the government is defunding education.

Learn what YOU can do in this week's episode wherever you get your podcasts! 🎙

The deliberate defunding of education is NOT about budget cuts but a direct threat to truth itself. When people can't recognize disinformation, our entire democracy is at risk.

Tune in to a BRAND NEW EPISODE to learn more about fighting the infodemic: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/und...

The infodemic isn't just about Russian bots or AI-generated deep fakes.

Most disinformation spreads because regular people see something that confirms what they already believe, get emotional, and share it immediately without checking.

Information is power (but only when it’s TRUE).

In a world of constant noise, being careful with what we share is an act of civic responsibility.
Let’s protect democracy, one post at a time.

🚨 When truth itself is under threat, what can we do? The infodemic is happening right before our eyes. But what IS an "infodemic?" And what does it mean for our ability to make informed decisions? 🧵(1/4)

We're all worried about fake videos while governments quietly build surveillance systems that would make Orwell weep.

Join us with Bruce Schneier to learn what actually threatens democracy (hint: it's not fake campaign ads).

#ICYMI - AI is deciding who gets disability benefits, reading your chest X-rays, and writing legislation. Nobody asked if you're okay with that. Join us this week to learn why we need transparent AI making these decisions (not black box corporate systems): www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/ai-...

Switzerland just built public AI that isn't owned by corporations. But we’re not hearing much about it.

Discover why one country creating transparent, open-source alternatives matters more for democracy than every deep fake panic combined.

AI bias or AI values? The answer might surprise you.

Join us with Bruce Schneier to explore how "bias towards fairness" is actually what we want – the question is who decides what counts as fair and for what purpose.

Join us with @schneierblog, author of Rewiring Democracy, to discover why AI avatars help journalists in Venezuela report safely and politicians in Pakistan speak from jail.
Let's understand these tools... for real.

Some fun costume ideas for this Halloween:

- Someone who reads the terms & conditions
- A politician who answers questions directly
- A billionaire who pays their fair share

Happy Halloween from Future Hindsight!

Stay safe, stay informed, stay engaged.

For a better democracy, we need to understand how information flows!

Join us with Bruce Schneier to learn why AI rewiring that system matters more than we know – it changes who gets heard and who makes decisions.

Right now, AI is the boogeyman. And in some ways, rightfully so. BUT, we have to be strategic here.

While you're worried about deep fakes, autocrats are using AI to spy on every phone call YOU make.

So where are we going wrong? 🧵(1/3)

The Montgomery bus boycott lasted over a year. Not a weekend. Not a week. Over a year.

It cost the city massive economic damage. Business owners felt it. The system couldn't function.

That's more than just a protest — that’s a disruption.

#ICYMI - Underdogs are always fighting an uphill battle. So how do they win?

Join us with Stephanie Luce to understand how underdogs access power even when the system is stacked against us – through solidarity, disruption, narrative shifts, and organizing: www.futurehindsight.com/episodes/how...

Occupy Wall Street didn't topple Wall Street. But it DID shift the national conversation from blaming homeowners to blaming corporations.

Join us with @stephanie_luce_ to learn when narrative power matters more than disruption.

Are protests our democracy's last line of defense or just performance?

Join us with Stephanie Luce, co-author of Practical Radicals, to explore what actually builds power versus what just makes us feel better. The scales might just fall off your eyes!

What makes underdogs win? ORGANIZED PEOPLE.

Join us with Stephanie Luce to discover why solidarity power – people coming together in unions, community groups, and movements – is the foundation everything else builds on.

Teachers unions used to ask: "What would a school look like if WE ran it?" Not "can we get a 2% raise?"

They started with a vision of schools that teachers AND students AND parents deserve. Then organized everyone to fight for it together. That's how St. Paul teachers won. Vision, then strategy.

Join us with @stephanie_luce_ to understand why retreating from debates about race, immigration, and gender are not how underdogs win. These issues may “divide” us, but they must be addressed to build a real multiracial democracy.
